prayers of the faithful - Thursday of the third week of Lent - 24 March 2022

Lord Jesus - you bring us hope. 

Christ Jesus - you bring us new life. 

Lord Jesus - you encourage us on our journey. 

We now bring our prayers to the Lord for our needs, the needs of the Church, and the Needs of the world. 

1. We pray that as we continue our Lenten journey, that Christ breathe life into his church and his church leaders.  

2. That our eyes, minds, and hearts be open to the holiness of creation and to the ways we can reach out to our brothers and sisters. 

3.  That you guide our governmental leaders in strength and wisdom as they lead us in justice and peace.  We pray for peace in those places torn apart by war and violence, especially in Ukraine.  

4. That all of the sick receive the assistance that they need.  In gratitude for our medical professionals and first responders.  

5. For strength and courage to bear our crosses and sufferings. 

6. For all who are still recovering in Mississippi, Louisiana, and other states for damage done by the tornadoes and the storms this past week.  

7. For those prayers we hold in our hearts. 

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the blessings you give us in life and we thank you for your grace that helps us meet our challenges.  We present these prayers to you through your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever.  AMEN.
